Cherry Shrimp

[razer121]

is a cherry shrimp ok with....

1x betta
1x pleco
4x neons
1x guppie
1x zebra

also on a side note anyone got any good ideas on how to clean fish poop from sand

a betta is very likely to eat the shrimp as a snack
what size tank is this going to be? plecos need lots of room, neons should really be kept in a group of 6 minimum, zebra danios should also be kept in a group and, well one guppy is going to get lonely?

Depending on type of plec most likely to be a bristlenose imo then it will need 25+ gallon although there are some smaller specie pleco's you may have. Neons, guppies, danios all need to be in groups and should be fine with shrimp. I believe razers betta is quite peaceful so he should be fine with adult shrimp if they are given adequate hiding spaces. Neon tetras are known fin nippers so the betta may be attacked by them, the same with guppies attacking him and if the guppies are fancy variety the large colourful tail may get attacked by the betta.

Razer you really need to research and stop impulse buying!

lol i dont impluse buy........ok but sometimes if you see the condition well, today i went into pets at home and there must of been at lease 1 dead fish in about 5 different tanks....told the staff and they said "it happens" ergh im sure thats not what i would do!! there was one with plecs and the plecs were all over this fish which was half dead and still trying to swim away....anyway

the fish seem ok with each other the neons stay together the plec is happy going through all the matter in the tank...the zebra seems to love the filter!!! the guppie and betta seem to stick together, they follow each other not chase but follow, just got some new mollys in there and my betta seems to have become very attached to one of them....the mollys are female, they wouldnt try and do the whole mate thing would they? lol overall the fish all seem to love each other lol, i will have to post up a pic of the tank soon...its starting to look very nice, i decided to go for real plants rather then fake...and also have provided hiding places for the fish....i think there happy, with the pleco if he does get to big for the tank i will find him a new home, for now he seems fine though
